This is not cool. For a years work, Rubina and Azharuddin ( who play, Latika and Salim in the movie) were paid $500 and $1500. They continue to live in abject poverty in the slum. Azharuddin's illegal hut was demolished recently and now he sleeps under a plastic tarp.
The director and producer of the movie are not embarrassed by this, they think sending the children to a $20/ month school was more than enough compensation. Complete heartbreaking story here.
I send an email to www.foxsearchlight.com to let them know how disgusting this is.
